| the place is nice but they need to update their DJ equipment. all they have is cdj 200s and an old ass vestax mixer. new equipment will make the sound in there much better for sure. |

You are definitely right Bran!
However, as Christian mentioned, they are aware of this issue and will replace the equipment within the next few weeks. |

good to know, it's all the place is missing. by the way i wasn't hating on the place, just if they call themselves a bar for electronic music and want to be taken seriously well..you know..
anyways the place reminds me of basement parties with close friends so it is definitely a place to check out if you're looking for an intimate vibe. |

actually i like technology and the rare time i go near my decks i run serato.
traktor is the antichrist though...in the hands of a talented individual it is a tool of the gods leading to magical things for sure...but the reality is that especially in this city...that it has created a new generation of atrocious local djs who don't have the slightest concept on how to build or mix a set because they didn't learn any theory.
beat matching yourself does not make you a better dj, but going through the process of learning how to mix without looking at a waveform does. The practice leads to you being better at improvising, reading the music, and creating appropriate tension and release instead of always pressing autosync at the end of a break.
let me use Hakimm as an example here, because i remember when he was learning. The guy would spend weeks on end doing nothing but counting beats...he learned to mix on all platforms and because of this became a good dj. He didn't get that way overnight...which is what a lot of these other young guys think they can do.
Tghe software isn't the problem, bad djs are...and the software makes it easier for them to butcher dancefloors, better?
:p
i know you get what i am trying to say martin. Don't tell me you haven't seen it with your own eyes in this town. A guy is playing 3 times a week, yet can't even grasp how to phrase the tracks or how to use an eq properly. Contrary to what many traktor djs believe...that really bad efx raping is not hiding any of it:p |

every dj that can't use other mediums should have their laptop crap out during a gig to emphasize what i am trying to get at.;)
what will you do then, beatbox and say sorry folks, music over? |
